Going back as little as 25 years ago fashion was a new concept in eyewear. Eyeglass frames were a medical device. Luckily for eyeglass wearers today the eyewear industry has come a long way. Everyone from designers to stylist to patients themselves recognizes eyewear as a fashion accessory. An eyeglass frame is first and foremost to hold the lenses you need to see. If you have a mild to moderate prescription there is a huge choice of styling available. The stronger the prescription the more one needs to consider how the prescriptions impacts the final look.
